Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[unnammed riff expanded]

~ Review Request Club ~

When I listened to this it didn't create an image in my mind of something that I would see or hear playing during an animation or any sort of movie of some sort. It doesn't exactly sound like something that would be very ambient.

Does sound like it would be pretty good over some credits or something. A little bit of an eerie feel to it here and there as well so perhaps a movie that was a tad bit science fiction like or something similar.

All around not bad, but not something that I would exactly think about hearing when thinking of ambient music as I think of ambient music as a tad bit more subtle and this had a couple of high pitch notes that might catch people's attention.

mistermurfi responds:

Yeah sorry wasnt exactly sure what category to put it into and just went for ambient because its quite soft :D

yeah its prob not good for any flash or anything but wasnt made with that in mind was just done really quickly for lolz

thanks for the awesome review :D

[Parisienne redux]

~ Review Request Club ~

Sounded pretty good all around. The beginning just kind of jumps in there without warning, but you've already explained why that happens. Could be something that would be pretty easy to fix though.

There were sometimes where the back tracking and the guitar just didn't sound right together, but it gave it kind of this interesting sound that you wouldn't exactly expect to hear. And all around great job on the guitar though.

mistermurfi responds:

yeah dont know why the beginning got cut off but was kinda a one time mistake hasnt happened since so its all good :D

when you say the backing and guitar didnt go together you mean the tone of the guitar or just the notes im playing?

either way im sure i could make improvements and will try to :D

thanks again for the review

Pretty cool song. I really liked the way the introduction sounded. Pretty original sound to it and some nice effects all around. It even made my baby nephew dance so it must have a catchy beat to it. :P

The voices were of great quality and were placed very well in the song. After the voices I didn't enjoy the song as much though. My favorite part would have to be before the voices. Not bad all around though.

SessileNomad responds:

yeah after the voices is when it realy gets into the heavy hardstyle stuff, and that genre is pretty much an aquired taste, so i understand

fuck yeah man, making babies dance is my thing

[Pull The Plug - Cover]

~ Review Request Club ~

Let me start off by saying that the song itself is really good. Alone it's worth a 10/10, but because of the sound I had to lower the score just a tad bit. Very hard to hear even when the speakers are turned all the way up. That on top of me being very hard of hearing didn't make for an easy time listening to this.

Like I said though the song itself is about perfect. I'd love to hear this a bit louder so I didn't have to strain to hear it and I could fully enjoy the awesomeness of the song. I was impressed with the vocals as well.

Jeffaro responds:

I'm gonna have to disagree with you.I don't really feel that the song is the (perfect) cover.But I do agree that the song can be louder.I'm uploading a louder version right now.

[In League (Cover)]

~ Review Request Club ~

I loved the song itself. Again, it's something that I haven't heard so I can relate it back to the original, but in my opinion it sounded great. The only problem is the quality of the vocals.

I actually think you sang this one quite good. The voice itself was perfectly fine, but the quality of the mic wasn't that good, which took away the quality of the song a bit.

Blackdoom13 responds:

The vocals were meant to sound kinda messed up like that. I added distortion and a low pass filter so it kinda dirtied it up. But honestly I think it was too much. I was listen to this on my headphones today and noticed that they sound really fuzzed up. So I think I'll do some thing about it.

[Nymphetamine (Instrumental)]

I think this is another good piece of audio from you. Great guitar and everything else. I don't know much about the techy stuff of music so I wouldn't know if there was anything wrong with it really. That's why to me it looks pretty good. ;) I guess I can only notice the minor things.

You made a good piece not only because it sounds great without vocals, but you set it up so it would sound great with them too. Very versatile piece. I never heard the original sound itself so I can't really compare this to it, but I'm sure you did a pretty decent job.

Good heavy guitar just like I like in a heavy metal song. Good variety and pretty good quality all around.

Blackdoom13 responds:

Thanks man! Awesome review! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I'm glad you like my music!
About the vocals I think I have someone to sing the female part so I can do the screams. So maybe it'll have vox soon. lol
Thanks for the review!

[Midnight Drive - TFT80s]

~ Review Request Club ~

This was pretty cool song. A bit of an original sound to it, but yet at the same time nothing too new or exciting. It never gets repetitive or anything like that and is mixed rather well.

I really don't know music with dates very well so I can't really relate to how this song sounds like it goes with the 80's, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

The song by itself doesn't really need any voices in my opinion. Still singing might be something you might want to try even if you don't think you're too good at it.

Soundgasm responds:

Thank you for the review.
I will try to make something more exciting. Expirement with my new hardware synth once I can get a cleaner recording of it.

[Invention No. 2]

~ Review Request Club ~

Hm, I wish I could write something like this when completely sober. Maybe I need to get drunk to write good music. Or maybe I need to learn a little bit about music first. :P

Yeah, a bit better than the first version in my opinion. Wasn't as sudden when introducing new instruments like the last one. The introduction has a little bit of a sneaky feeling to it also. Pretty good piece all around. Perhaps not better enough to increase by an entire point, but enough to see the difference.

~ Review Request Club ~

loansindi responds:

I'm not sure how the drunkenness played in. It was jack daniels sour mash, if that helps.

I definitely like this one better, and will be expanding at least on the ideas used here.

Thanks for the review.

[Invention No. 1]

~ Review Request Club ~

I like it all around. Very catchy tune in my opinion and actually I can see the essence of the invention theme going on here.

The new instrument came in just a tad loud in my opinion. Perhaps something such as a build up to the new instrument by introducing new sounds or the new instrument a bit quieter and than a tad bit louder a few times would help out here a little bit.

It is a tad short and seems like it has a little bit of room to be a tad bit longer without making it too repetitive or anything like that.

~ Review Request Club ~

loansindi responds:

Thanks for the review.

Every time I write a new piece, I feel like it gets a bit better, so hopefully some day I'll be able to produce longer works.

[I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) METAL]

~ Review Request Club ~

I laughed at parts, but I think it's just because I don't think I could ever imagine this song as a heavy metal song. I actually love singing this ever since Family Guy made fun of it with Pete Griffin. DUH DUH DUH ITS MY TURN TO SING!

I personally think it's one of your best songs. You missed some regular voice/sining in with the screams and the grunts. Really not bad at all. The mic was interesting, not really bad quality, but it sounded different. Did you use some sort of an effect here?

Really not that bad, made me laugh a little bit, but actually pretty good.

Blackdoom13 responds:

Lol thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it. Lol yeah I knew it was gonna be weird. When I first started this one I was like "lol this is gonna sound strange" oh well I liked it and she liked it so oh well!
Umm on the vocal part the only effects I'm using is some Chorus and Re-verb. I've been working on my mixing skills so that may be why it sounds different from my other stuff. I donno.
But thanks for the awesome review!
